Students in grades 7-12, please join us for a special youth group gathering on Sunday, March 23 from 3:00-5:00pm in Fellowship Hall.

Debbie Out of the Office
Debbie will be heading out of town on Friday, March 14 to visit her granddaughter Marin who is growing up way too fast! She will be back in the office on Monday, March 24 and will answer any emails sent while she is away when she returns. If you have an immediate need next week, please reach out to Pr. Erin.
Men’s Retreat
The Bethany Men are starting up our annual men’s retreat again this Spring. The retreat will take place at Ramblewood Environmental Center located at Sequim Bay State Park May 2-4th, a 52 minute drive from Bainbridge Island. More information, including cost, and a sign-up sheet are available on the hallway bulletin. We encourage all men of all ages to sign up and join in the fellowship and fun.
Living Lutheran Magazine
For those of you that requested a print edition subscription to the quarterly Living Lutheran magazine, they have had to change their fulfillment center and this will delay their ability to process print edition subscriptions. They hope to have the system in place by the summer edition. Watch the announcements for any future updates.
